Words of Wisdom from our Panel

 “Community is the container for transformation.”

Pamela Slim
Author, Speaker, and Business Coach

“When we come together in community, we realize we’re not alone in our struggles or our dreams.”

 

Dana Hilmer
Women’s Leadership and Midlife Reinvention Coach, and Co-Creator of Camp Reinvention™

“What I didn’t expect… it’s turned out that I have 65 new BFFs all over the world, I didn’t know that that was going to happen. Boy oh boy If you’re lacking friends, go make your own. Go put something together and make your own pool of friends.”

Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Perez
Pro-Aging Champion, Founder of the Thought Leader Platform The Kuel Life

 

“Community has a vibe of intimacy to it. Even though we’re with a lot of people, I feel like the communities that I tend to crave are ones that have similar desires, passions, or ideas. I appreciate the real conversations.”

Kim Fuller
Mindful Photographer, Story Coach, Author, TEDx speaker, Founder of Born to Rise™

“There’s a distinction between building and developing a community.  Building represents more of a dynamic business culture, and what I’ve done over the years is develop a culture in communities by bringing in folks with their insight, understanding who they are, and reflective listening.” 

 

Dr. Summer Watson
High-Performance Coach, Dr. of Psychology, Founder of KORE Women, Podcast & Live Show Host, Author, Mentor

 

“The real value of a community is to create a series of rituals that allows people to share their experiences. That’s really when you start building a true relationship, which takes time, but it also takes a deeper type of engagement.”

 

Virginie Glaenzer
Chief Marketing Officer, Digital & Growth Marketing Strategist, Board Advisor, Storyteller

 

The Brief

The October Wisdom Panel is about COMMUNITY and building something bigger than you.

Since starting the Real 50 over 50 project, one recurring topic is that we feel alone. This amplifies as we step into our 2nd and 3rd acts; we crave community.

I’ve gathered a panel from our community who are experts in bringing people together in different ways and for different reasons. This could have easily been a much bigger panel, so there will likely be another one.

Highlights

The Importance of Community

The panelists emphasized that community is essential for personal growth, support, and creating meaningful change. They discussed various ways to build and nurture communities, both online and offline. Another point made by the group is that communities can be small or large. What matters is the shared values and willingness to be vulnerable and open to deeper connections. This approach fosters trust among members and it organically becomes a place they wish to return.

Diverse Perspectives

The panel stressed the value of including diverse voices and perspectives within communities, as this enriches the experience for all members and promotes personal growth.

Leadership and Empowerment

The discussion touched on the role of leadership in community building and how empowering others can lead to stronger, more sustainable communities.

Technology and Community

Panelists explored how technology can be leveraged to create and maintain communities, especially in an increasingly digital world.
